Chief Information Officers often balance the role of both business leader and information technology leader, and are responsible for a wide variety of corporate tasks within modern organisations. CIOs are accountable for everything within an organisation’s ICT ecosystem, from the purchase of new IT equipment and managing its infrastructure, to leading, directing and recruiting the organization’s IT workforce. In addition, CIOs are responsible for mapping out the information and communications technology (ICT) strategy and policy of their organisations, ensuring that the technology is effectively procured and utilized, and that plans detailing how it is used are effectively documented.

​

As the demand for information technology services increases, CIOs must have both a micro and macro understanding of IT facilities including digital services, cloud migration, the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, cybersecurity and agile development among others. As CIO responsibilities expand to include policy and practice development, budgeting, planning, resourcing and training, CIOs must have both organisational and personal skills, as well as an expert-level aptitude in business and IT management.
